- Gain significant ownership and equity as a founding team member, reporting directly to the CTO and influencing every major architectural and product decision.
What You Will Do

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The ideal candidate
- Possesses 4-8 years of experience shipping high-quality production systems at high-growth startups, with a strong background in React, TypeScript, and Python.
- Demonstrates deep experience deploying AI/ML products, specifically working with LLM features, AI orchestration, or building agentic systems in production environments.
- Maintains a high-agency, "founder" mentality with the ability to navigate 0-to-1 challenges and prioritize user experience over technical over-engineering.
